Captioning in the Classrooms A Big Hit

Apparently, more and more students are requesting closed captioning or subtitles in some of the high schools I work at.

Many students who have been exposed to captioned media, because it is necessary for their deaf and hard of hearing classmates, absolutely love it. A few kids mentioned how they like that it helps them with their note taking. Others really like that they now know exactly what is being said, because even with their typical hearing, sometimes it can be hard to understand what someone is saying in a video. I bet this makes it easier for them to not have to focus so much. Overall, captioned media has been a big hit.

As you can imagine, this makes the deaf and hard of hearing students happy and feel more accepted in their classrooms, while the teachers are happy with the positive impact captioned media is making on their students.
